We all have our reasons for why we eliminate certain things from our foods. For me my reason is PCOS and my item in this case is sugar. Because these sugar-free pancakes still have some white flour in them I wanted to reduce as much ‘white’ as possible while still trying to make these somewhat clean.
I made a batch of homemade pancake mix because kiddo still enjoys a weekend batch of pancakes here and there. I’m trying to eliminate the need for artificial sweeteners as well – but – one step at a time. I feel better feeding her these than I do prepackaged pancake mix.
These are really simple to make.
You’ll need:
1 cup of the sugar-free pancake mix
1 egg
3/4 c skim milk
Mix it all up and pour onto hot pan or griddle.
This pancake making day inspired me to try something that I keep seeing floating around Pinterest. Remember that Pinterest “Cotton Candy Cake” that kind of failed? Well this turned out way better. Subscribe to be notified or keep your eye out.
What are some of your favorite pancake toppings?

October 11, 2013 at 10:27 pmI’ve been using the heart healthy bisquick too. I clicked on the link for your pancake mix, and I’ll have to try it. My family has no problem with sugar, but it gives me intense migraines. I have found that I can tolerate Sweet ‘n Low in small amounts (though I don’t like it for cooking), but Splenda gives me the same migraine as does Equal. Honey seems to work okay for me. Have you tried any of the other natural sugar alternatives you mentioned?

October 12, 2013 at 10:45 amI can tolerate Splenda in small doses. I suffer from migraines as well, since I was 9 so I can understand. I am slowly making the switch to Stevia so if that is something that is in your budget it might be better because it is an actual plant and nothing artificial. You could also try Ground up dates, sucanat, or maple flakes. Thank you for stopping by!

October 15, 2013 at 10:42 pmAny time you can make your own mix instead of buying a packaged one, you’re doing a good thing. 🙂 Usually cheaper, too! THanks for linking up to Let’s Get Real!

October 16, 2013 at 9:56 amThank you for stopping by Nicole. It really takes no time at all to put these mixes together. And once they are together you are good to go. Saves money in the long run because the ingredients can be used for other things.

June 23, 2014 at 8:18 pmcan I use water instead of milk, and do you put any oil in this recipe? My husband cant have sugar or dairy, so I am trying to find a recipe that I can make for him. Please let me know. Thank you, Gayle

June 24, 2014 at 1:39 pmI have done it with unsweetened almond milk. They don’t get super nice and fluffy, but they are still good. I also have a low carb pancake recipe on the site. http://yumeating.com/low-carb-keto-friendly-almond-flax-pancakes/
